Marc, If you are going to create an ARS Web Service Object ( So that ARS will publish an Web Services interface for other applications to talk to.) then you will be creating an ARS Container. ARS Containers are a super set object that comprise ARS Applications, ARS Web Services, ARS Guides( Filter and Active Link), and PackingLists too. So you are going to need to use the C API command: ARCreateContainer. Note: This is a very different task than getting ARSystem to call some other applications Web Service.
I know that the ARSPerl manual is more than a bit out of date, but after reviewing (http://arsperl.sourceforge.net/manual/toc.html) I do not see this function as being implemented at all in ARSPerl. Maybe it is implemented and not yet documented, but I doubt that will help you much. I have yet to have a need to make an ARS Web Service object from any of the API's. So I poked around for 10 minutes and here is what I see: After reviewing the C and Java API docs (for 7.1) I would suggest that you use the Java API. The Java API looks like there is at least some detail (Although not much there either) that might help you along your way. However you have a fair amount of detective work to do no matter which API language you select. You likely need to pay attention to these constants: ARCON_* (specifically ARCON_WEBSERVICE = 5) ARREF_WS_* And likely others too. I think your best bet is to manually create a Web Service (or 10) and export their def files in XML format. That should help you to see what properties are being set by the Admin Tool and should help you decipher the poorly documented C and Java APIs. You might even want to ask BMC Tech Support if you have specific questions about an API property too. But I doubt they will be of much help. For what it is worth: I was able to make a "non-functional" ARS web service by using the v7.1 JavaDriver. If I could find what properties I needed to set I bet I could even create a working WebService with that client too. So you may want to work out how to feed a command file to the JavaDriver and not have to know any (or almost any) Java too. ( You may also be able to use the "driver", written with the C API tool too.)
